Shay Larue Chandler, 34, was arrested Oct. 10 on a warrant charging him with one felony count of conspiracy to traf c in oxycodone/ morphine/hydromorphone greater than 28 grams. Jail records show that he was released on $20,000 bond on Oct. 12. An arrest report by an agent with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Of ce Multi-Agency Diversion Task Force stated that Chandler was apparently working at Recovery Solutions of the Palm Beaches, which is a certi ed alcohol and drug detox center in West Palm Beach. The agent stated that Chandler was identi ed as a certi ed addiction specialist, assistant clinical director and the director of a men's wellness program, even though he reportedl y does not have a license to work in those capacities. "The Department of Health does not have any form of license on le for Chandler," stated the agent in his report.

MurphyOkeechobee News Every seventh and eighth grader in Okeechobee Middle Schools and ninth graders at the Okeechobee Achievement Academy were given a crash course on bullying, crime prevention, teen violence and substance abuse at a special assembly entitled the True Lies Tour Thursday. Phil Chalmers, Author of the novel, "Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer," spoke to several hundred students at the hour long presentation. LG Wise, a rap artist, provided a performance of his release, Tonight,' which is about bullying. The goal of the presentation is to destroy lies that are told to this young generation and bring truth about issues that affect teens on a daily basis. Mr. Chalmers said there are 30 main lies told to our youth on these issues. Marijuana is not as safe as you think. Drugs can cause cancer. Inhalants can melt your brain. Drugs cause death. These are certainties, said Mr. Chalmers, and a great reason to stay away from these toxic substances. Photos tell a thousand words. He showe d often graphic photos in a slide show tha t shows the affect of long-term drug use o n a person's appearance, their teeth, an d their health. He also talked about alcohol abuse an d showed the results of an alcohol relate d crash in Texas that sent one teen to priso n and another young woman into a whee l chair. He also spoke about sexual crimes tha t affect children like abductions from publi c places. He has interviewed 30 killers an d their methods. He said the best advice h e can give is, don't listen to bad guys, do no t cooperate, and do not let them take yo u out of a public place. Fight back, make a scene, and scare them off, he advised. "We don't want anything like this t o happen to anyone in Okeechobee. Yo u couldn't pay me enough to come here, I' d have to want to come here, and that is wh y we are here," he explained. He also warned them not to talk t o strangers on Facebook. He said some sex ual predators are extremely smart and ca n get away with murder. He said bad thing s can happen to anyone.

complainer and showed by example how to live happily under all conditions with her unshakable faith that all was as it should be. She quietly accepted all things as part of His plan and persevered with joy through all her suffering. After so many transfusions, the body begins to make antibodies against donor blood, so the blood she received needed to be processed differently. While I dont know all the details, I do know that she would get blood from outside the state she lived in. Her comments then were that she was so special, I have to get imported blood. Ma Tante Laurette was a trooper through it all and lived almost ten years with her disease. Please come out this Nov. 17 and 18 and contribute so that other Ma Tante Laurettes can shine on in their own circle of life! Bring your friends and families so we can make this the best blood drive ever! The Blood Roundup is at a NEW location: Hammerheads Banquet Hall on Highway 70 East at Taylor Creek. All donors will receive a Roundup T-shirt, a goody bag, and food and refreshments. More than 15 door prizes will be given every hour! Melanie Mello and I look forward to seeing you at the 2012 Roundup where we hope to collect 600 units of blood in two days. Susan Williams License tags The governor wants to spend $31 million redesigning license plates. That money could be better used on things like education.  I think it is ne to redesign the license plates as long as the cost is not passed along to the drivers.  I think it is a waste of money.  The reason for the change in license plates is that the current design is dif cult for the computerized cameras to read when people run the toll booths. The governors of ce claims that being able to collect those tolls will offset the expense of redesigning the license tags. Are there really so many people running the toll booths that it would offset $31 million?Politics There was an old quotation that went something like, A man begins life as a liberal and dies a conservative, or something to that effect, or maybe it was vice versa?  Ive received my sample ballot and read the amendments therein ... some made sense, some didnt. Someone once said if you dont understand the amendment mark no and let them operate off the existing laws. It made sense to me and that is how I have had to mark some of the changes as I didnt fully understand them and sadly the way they are worded it almost takes a constitutional lawyer to decipher them.  I was very impressed with the powerful advertisement I recently saw on television which features and was paid for by Thomas Peterffy, a Hungarian immigrant who came to this country in 1965 and became very wealthy designing commodities trading software. Mr. Peterffy knows about socialism rst hand. He lived it. His message is a warning about the dangers of socialism. Under socialism, he says, the rich get poorer, but the poor get poorer too. He says what he sees happening in the United States now reminds him of what happened to Hungary under socialism. Blood donation importantIn order to promote the Seventh Annual Okeechobee Blood Roundup, Melanie Mello sent in this story about her aunt, Ma Tante Laurette, because, in her words, the Okeechobee Blood Roundup is very special to me because of this amazing lady and others I have had the privilege to know. One of ten children, my aunt (Tante) Laurette grew up in the Great Depression as did many of our seniors. She never married because her beau gave his life for his country. Instead, she devoted herself to family. Nieces and nephews were abundant given the number of her siblings and my cousins, siblings and I were all devoted to her. She w as a wonderful lady who was involved in many activities of her church that included teaching Christian education to youngsters and a sewing circle for the annual bazaar. She also loved to cook and bake. I am also one of ten children. Ma Tante Laurette was my mothers older sister and as a child I was blessed to live in the same tenement house with my extended family. One of the striking things about Ma Tante was her spirit of adventure. In her lifetime which spanned 92 years, she traveled all across our great country, into Canada to visit relatives in Quebec, and to Europe several times. For Ma Tantes 80th birthday, she had mentioned that she always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, so as a family, we gave her that gift. Anytime she recounted that experience, she had a gleam in her eye. Always joyous, she lived every day to the fullest. It was no surprise to any of us that, when she was diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of cancer that required her to have multiple blood transfusions, she handled it all with grace and humor. For many years she would need to go in periodically for a transfusion because, as she would say, she was down a quart. She would make comments like, Ive had so much blood now, I wonder if I am still the same person! They have changed all my original blood. Then she would giggle and laugh.

Violence is not the answer. You think its tough in Osceola Middle school, go to Florida State prison. Youll meet guys who havent seen a woman in 20 years, Mr. Chalmers said. He explained several incidents where the victims of bullying got back at their bullies by coming to school with guns and shooting innocent people. He said zero tolerance is the only way to stop bullying. He said kids must come forward and tell people if the y see bullying. He also spoke on violent forms of entertainment. He said this is the rst generation that used murder as forms of entertainment. Video games are one of the main sources of violence. He said it is no coincidence that school-related shooting started in earnest after the creation and distribution of violent video games. His inspiring message was every person has value. He said many in the crowd have been abused, molested, bullied, and had family issues. He said anyone can overcome these problems by believing in themselves and having the knowledge that they have value. His goal was to make the school bull y proof because that will make students bullet proof. No one in this school deserved to be harassed or bullied. He also emphasized the need to make good choices in life and to do things that make the world a better place. Mr. Chalmers will appear on the Biography Channel on Nov. 19 in the new program, Killer Teens. Mr. Wise grew up as the son of a 14-yearold single mother, who grew up in a drug infested neighborhood. Wise went to prison but reformed his life. Today he tries to produce positive music with an inspirational message. He spoke to kids about potential, urged them to focus on their dreams, told them to never give up and encouraged them to pursue the life they want to lead. Sheriff Paul May, the Okeechobee Count y School Board and the Okeechobee Children Services Council worked together in a collaborative effort to bring Mr. Chalmers and his message to the schools. Thursday night parents got a chance to hear the same presentation and meet Mr. Chalmers. Shond a Hunter with the Okeechobee School Board coordinated the event. LIESContinued From Page 1 Mosquitoes can be a nuisance, as well as pose a signi cant health risk, to humans and animals. Mosquito-vectored (transmitted) diseases, such as encephalitis, dengue fever, West Nile Virus and malaria can infect humans, wildlife and domestic animals. In fact, more than one million people die from mosquito-borne diseases each year. The city council, through its Public Works Department, aims to reduce the risk of these infectious diseases while limiting adverse human health and environmental impacts. Due to the nuisance level of mosquitoes, the City of Okeechobee is announcing they will spray for adult mosquitoes during the week of Oct. 22. The exact date will be determined by weather conditions and availability of the contractor. Truck-based fogging will occur between dusk and approximately 1 a.m. However, early morning application may be utilized, depending on weather conditions. The citys contractor, Fleming Pest Management of LeHigh Acres, plans to use a permethrin-based product to be applied in a ne mist which delivers 9.0 ounces per minute at 10 mph. To minimize pesticide exposure, residents should stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed for 30 to 60 minutes after spraying occurs. In addition to the spraying application, the city will continue placing Larvicides (mosquito dunks) in standing water areas along rights-of-way and in drainage ditches. Should you have questions or concerns, please contact David Allen, Public Works Director, 863-763-3372 ext. 225 or email: dallen@cityofokeechobee.com.

Health News in Brief JFK Hospital in Atlantis. The agent stated in his report that his investigation began in July of 2011 when he learned that Mrs. Abrams was reportedly practicing medicine without a license and using her husbands Drug Enforcement Agency registration number to write prescriptions for controlled substances. After running Dr. Abrams prescribing history through the Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Data Base (PDMP) the agent learned that Chandler had received 21 prescriptions from June 7, 2011, through Nov. 3, 2011. The PDMP went online Dec. 1, 2010, on a voluntary basis. On Oct. 1, 2011, it became mandatory that all pharmacies enter prescriptions into that database. Because of this, the PDMP does not show all the prescriptions written by Dr. Abrams during the voluntary time frame. The agent stated that from June until November of 2011 Chandler received scripts for: 480 oxycodone pills; 90 dilaudid/hydromophone pills; 540 morphine 30mg pills; 320 morphine 60mg pills; 120 xanax/alprazolam; and, 120 soma/carisoprodol pills. Also, a search of the PDMP indicated that about 225 prescriptions were written through the center to 23 people from Okeechobee, the agent pointed out. He went on to explain that, as one example, there were 63 prescriptions written for oxycodone that totaled 9,450 pills prescribed for local residents. Not only were a majority of Chandlers prescriptions lled in Okeechobee, stated the agent, but he was also buying pills from patients at Recovery Solutions and then selling them in Okeechobee. During an interview, the agent said Chandler told him about a script devised by Mrs. Abrams that was used when prescriptions were called in to pharmacies. That script, continued the agent, was found during the execution of a search warrant at Recover y Solutions. The agent went on to state that Chandlers medical le was also found during that search, but there ... was no medical information located inside of this le. We could not nd a medical le for Shay Chandler indicating any medications prescribed or medical diagnosis, wrote the agent. Melanie Abrams and Dr. Abrams were also arrested on a number of charges.

Code magistrate imposes ne By Eric KoppOkeechobee News A Georgia man was arrested and booked into the county jail following his arrest for allegedly pulling a handgun on an off-duty deputy. Jerry Wayne Kilpatrick, 55, Ditch Road, Arabi, was arrested Wednesday, Oct. 17, on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon ( rearm) and a misdemeanor charge of willful and wanton reckless driving. Kilpatrick was booked into the Okeechobee County Jail under an $8,000 bond. Jail records show he has since been released on bond. An arrest report by Deputy Brian Cross, of the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Of ce (OCSO), stated that the incident began in the 4000 block of U.S. 441 N. around 3:18 p.m. when a silver Ford F-150 pickup started to tailgate the off-duty deputy, who was in his personal vehicle. In the off-duty deputy's report he stated that even though it was raining at the time, the pickup got so close to the back of his vehicle that he "... could only see the top of the v ehicle through my rear view mirror." At that point the deputy slowed down to let the pickup pass. However, the truck reportedly would not pass so the deputy increased his speed to 60 mph. The off-duty deputy went on to state that he nally pulled off the road in the 13,000 block of U.S. 441 N. The pickup then pulled up on the driver's side of the off-duty deputy's vehicle and stopped, continued the report. That deputy stated in his report that he had his driver's side window down and the pickup's passenger-side window down. Through that open window the deputy could see that the driver of the truck, later identi ed as Kilpatrick, was holding a handgun at shoulder level. Kilpatrick then allegedly said "Do you have a problem?" to the deputy. The deputy then identi ed himself as a deputy and immediately backed up and armed himself with his duty weapon. At that point, Kilpatrick pulled away from the scene with the off-duty deputy behind him. Kilpatrick was allegedly driving at speeds topping 90 mph and passing vehicles in a reckless manner, as the off-duty deputy followed at a safe distance. Deputy Cross caught up to Kilpatrick and stopped him in the 33400 block of U.S. 441 N. In his report, Deputy Cross said he found a ve-shot Smith & Wesson .38 special handgun in the center console of the truck. Report: Motorist pulls gun on off-duty deputy Jerry W.

Jack Owen Albritton, 26, N.W. 294th St., was arrested Monday, Oct. 15, on felony charges of grand theft, dealing in stolen property, giving false information to a second hand recycler and criminal mischief. He is being held on bond in the Okeechobee County Jail. An arrest report by Detective Mark Shireman, of the Okeechobee County Sheriffs Of ce (OCSO), stated that Albritton reportedly stole a Caterpillar skid steer then took it to his home. He then started cutting it into pieces and sold those pieces to the recycling center, added the detective. According to the report Albritton completed his rst transaction with the recyclers on Oct. 2 when he sold some parts of the skid steer and was paid $60.48. Albritton reportedly returned to the recycling center three more times with pieces of the loader and was paid a total of $436.88 for those sales. Detective Shireman stated in his report that Albritton gave his Florida drivers license to the center as identi cation, along with his thumbprint. Albritton then signed a form stating that he was the owner of the property he was selling, the detective added. Albritton, who had reportedly just lost his job, said he was selling pieces of the machine to pay his rent and electrical bills, pointed out the detective. Skid steers are compact loaders used to dig and move landscaping and construction materials. The OCSO detective indicated in his report that the skid steer in this case was owned by two Jupiter men who had left it at property they owned in Okeechobee County. The men, who own a welding business in Jupiter, reportedly told the detective the y bought it from a customer for $10,000.

Okeechobee Main Street is proud to present a Florida Main Street Merit Award to the Daughters of the American Revolution, Okeechobee, West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce Chapters. This award is given for their exceptional accomplishment in moving the historical marker from the Battle of Okeechobee to the Battle of Okeechobee Historic State Park on Highway 441 SE. Each year local Main Street programs are asked to submit nominations in various categories to the Florida State Main Street program and those nominations are considered for awards by Secretary of State Ken Detzner. The D.A.R. received their award as an Outstanding Florida Main Street Public Improvement Project. Okeechobee Main Street recognizes the great historic value of the monument to Okeechobee. It commemorates the famous Battle of Okeechobee which was fought on Christmas Day, 1837, between a large band of Seminole Indians and the Sixth Regiments of Infantry of the Regular Army with the First Regiment of Missouri Volunteers. The reenactment of this Battle is held annually at the State Park. The great Monument move itself occurred on Nov. 11, 2011 when the large coral monument was moved from the edge of Highway 441 SE into the Park. It took the work of many individuals including the Okeechobee County Sheriffs Of ce, Ricks Crane Service, the Park Manager and FDOT. The monument now sits in its full glory with the base of the monument exposed, a new concrete base established and appropriate landscaping. On Feb. 4, the Monument was re-dedicated by the Daughters of the American Revolution during the annual Battle of Okeechobee Re-Enactment. This was a moment of historical proportions. Willie Johns and Andy Bowers spoke and represented the Seminole Tribe; Congressman Tom Roone y sent a letter of congratulations. Doc Anderson and Cossie Conrad were in attendance as they were in 1937. As the Monument was dedicated in its new place of honor, a comment was made that our ancestors would be proud of our ability to now come together in peace and accomplishment. Congratulations to the D.A.R. and particularly Su George, whose loyalty and dedication to this project made it a reality for Okeechobee! 2 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee May 27, 2010 1796 Highway 441N ~ Okeechobee ~ RaulersonHospital.com Raulerson Hospital is offering convenient evening Screening Mammogram appointments.

Leigh educated club members as to the importance of cultural arts and its impact on children and their communities. Outreach and partnerships have been important components of the programming at the DHCAC since it opened in 1982 at the Palm Beach State College main campus. In 1983, as an extension of the Palm Beach State College campus in Belle Glade, the Center opened its doors to the students of the Glades communities with the Theatre for Schools program. Now called the CAFE series (Cultural Arts for Education), this program usually serves over 18,500 students per year and is offered at almost no cost to the students. Of the 18,500 students served, many of them are from the Okeechobee County school district.

City planner Bill Brissom got a good w orkout as he explained the three ordinances. After lengthy discussion the council passed the rst reading and set Jan. 15 as the date for the second reading for an ordinance that would approve city-initiated changes to the future land use map classi cations for six speci c areas of the city. The second ordinance considered was defeated after another lengthy discussion. It dealt with city initiated rezoning changes from holding and other categories to various other zoning categories on several separate parcels in the city. The ordinance was sent back to the planning board to allow property owners to keep their present zoning or change to the zoning recommended by the city planner. The city's comprehensive plan w ill be amended to allow for holding zoning districts and permitted uses of zoning districts will be amended. The third ordinance dealt with what Councilman Clayton Williams jokingly calls the city's "perfect" sign ordinance because so much time was spent in developing the ordinance. However, one area that was overlooked in the lengthy sign ordinance development process, according to Mr. Brissom, was the total signage area allowable for a building housing a single business. The council passed the rst reading and set Nov. 13 as the date for the nal public hearing for an ordinance that would change the city's method of calculating the total amount of building signage allowable for buildings with a single business. Under this ordinance the total square footage of such signage would be no more than one square foot for each linear foot of property along the front of the lot. The front of the lot was de ned as the side upon which the property is addressed. The request for the sign ordinance change was initiated by the McDonald's on Park Street. As a result of remodeling the building, McDonald's was proposing to have a total building signage area of 107 square feet. The current ordinance allows for only 49 square feet. In other action, the council: awarded contracts to Clean Cuts, LLC, McHaffey Construction, Neal Long Construction, Platinum Performance Builders, Sweat Trucking & Paving, and White Sands Construction for the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program; passed a resolution making Oct. 21 27 City Government Week; approved a construction agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation concerning turn lanes on Park Street at S.E. 10th Avenue and S.E. 13th Avenue; approved a resolution urging residents to carefully consider the potential adverse consequences of Amendment 4 on the 2012 General Election Ballot with Councilman Devin Maxwell casting the lone dissenting vote; approved a temporary street closing for First Baptist Church on Oct. 31; approved changing the date for a previously approved temporary street closing for First Baptist Church from Nov. 10 to Nov. 17; approved a temporary street closing request by Central Elementary School on Nov. 2; appointed Noel Chandler to the Okeechobee Utility Authority Board of Directors; approved a contract for building of cial and inspection services; waived formal bidding procedures and awarded a sole source bid for mapping services; and approved a one time mosquito spraying for the entire city.

MurphyOkeechobee News Okeechobee Lady Brahman volleyball's home court woes continued Tuesday as they fell to Vero Beach in three games, 25-21, 2725, and 25-20. Darby Jones had 16 kills and Maci Thomas had seven service points. Sarah Davis had 22 digs and 29 assists in the match. Okeechobee has won only one match in the rst six played at home this year. Coach Todd Jones said it de nitely has been frustrating for the seniors on the team. "We scheduled a tough season. Vero Beach for some reason has been the team to beat this year as they have beaten everyone," he explained. Okeechobee battled in each of the games but couldn't win big points down the stretch. They trailed by only two to three points throughout game one and tied the score at 20 late. Okeechobee rallied again from a vepoint de cit in the second game and drew even several times, the last time at 25-25. OHS led 9-7, 12-11 and 17-16 in the nale but couldn't close out the win. "It was encouraging to see how well we played against Vero Beach. They are very good at picking out our weak spots and nding our holes," Jones admitted. "We did a very good job offensively. My outside hitters did well. Our blocking at the net has improved." Jones said although many good things happened for OHS in this match, there weren't enough good things to pull out the win. Okeechobee nished the regular season on Thursday when they hosted Suncoast for senior night. They will host Port St. Lucie in the District Tournament next Tuesday night. If they prevail, Okeechobee will match up Sebastian River next Wednesday with a regional appearance at stake. OHS lost a vegame match to the Lady Sharks in September in Okeechobee. Coach Jones said he feels his senior dominated team can rise to the occasion and keep their streak going of consecutive appearances in the regional. "We have to get through Sebastian and put them away. Our seniors have reached the district tournament nal every year of their career. I don't think our seniors are ready to nish the season. It will be a struggle but I hope they nd the years they put into the sport are important," he added. The team will also deal with the distraction of homecoming week and activities next week at OHS. By Charles M. MurphyOkeechobee News Kodi Stephen and Cameron White quali ed for the golf regional Monday with strong performances at their respective district tournaments. Stephen shot 73, 1-over par at the Saints Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, as he overcame a recent bout with pneumonia. He was sixth overall among individuals. White shot 99 at the Lady Brahman district 18-2A tournament at the Sanbridge Golf Club in Vero Beach. The Lady Brahmans nished fourth out of eight teams. The girls shot 442 as a team. Other golfers for Okeechobee were Hannah Raulerson 107, Kailey Hoover 120, Danielle Shef eld 116 and Bethany Stuart 120. Jensen Beach was the District champion. Lucy Robson had the low round of the day at 72, even par, and won the district title. White will compete next Monday in Viera in the regional championships. The Brahman boys shot a season best 322 at the tournament. Kutter Crawford shot 80, Kyle Mullins 83, Zach Hudson 86 and Elijah Finney 98. The district champion was Dominick Vennari at 67. Vero Beach won the District Title. Brahman golf coach Kenny Buckner said he felt the team had their best performance of the year at the district tournament. "The younger players improved greatly over the season and the future looks real bright for the Brahman linksters." Stephen also competes in the regional next Monday. The Yearling Lady Bulls volleyball team w on the Sebastian Middle School end of season tournament Saturday to nish the season (18-1). They defeated Pemayetv Emahakv in the championship nals 25-12 and 26-24. They defeated Osceola, Sebastian and Brighton during pool play. Yearling overcame the home squad, Sebastian, 25-21, and 25-16 in the semi nal. Rachel Bryan was named the tournament MVP as she had seven aces, three blocks and 44 kills. Megan Hargraves had eight kills and seven aces. Josie Grif n had two aces, six kills and ve blocks. Raylee Coleman had six aces and 13 kills. Abby Ericson had two aces and six kills. Taylor Amadon had eight service aces, 13 kills and two blocks. Toni Garcia chipped in w ith two aces and one kill. Carrie Wharin had nine aces, three kills and 76 assists. Coach Bruce Conrad said the girls were really motivated to win after losing their rst match of the year in early September. "This group of girls worked harder than any other group I've had because they knew in order to win all the rest they had to come together as a team and master all the small areas of the game," he added. The Okeechobee junior varsity volleyball team has had a lot of success this year. Recently the team traveled to play in the 16 team Palm Beach Classic in West Palm Beach and returned the tournament champion. Coach Karen Cotton said the team defeated some tough opponents and were really a solid unit on the court, Everyone had a job and did it with expertise," she said. Okeechobee defeated Palm Beach Central 25-9 and 25-18, Arch Bishop McCarty 25-20 and 25-22, tournament favorite Boca Raton 20-25, 25-17, and 15-4, and Wellington 25-22 and 25-17. Delaney Osceola had 33 digs, 24 service points and 12 aces. Sarah Hurst had 34 assists, 30 service points and 13 service aces. MaKayla Root had 17 kills and nine blocks. Chastity Harmon also was solid in the middle. Julia Weldon had 13 aces and 36 service points. Jacalyn Sutton had 13 kills. Trista Osceola had 13 digs. Jacie Harvey had 26 assists. Other positive contributions came from Kalgary Jumper, Jenna Thomas and Hannah Collier. The JV team plays in another tough tournament this weekend in Orlando when they compete in the Bearn Jam Tournament on Friday and Saturday. The Junior Varsity football team took it on the chin Tuesday night when they fell 38-0 to the St. Lucie West Centennial Eagles in Port St. Lucie. Zeke Matthews had an interception and Edrick Neal had a sack for the Brahman defense. The offense was without running back Angel Garcia who suffered an injury last week. QB Cory Surls hit Chris Epps with a 25 yard pass for the offensive unit. Coach Chris Hall said he felt the team competed better in the second half at the line of scrimmage. He praised Neal who earned top academic grades this year and earned a trip to Sea World. "Edrick is a hard worker who loves the game of football. Just being around him makes people smile," Hall added. Okeechobee has rescheduled a game with Clewiston that was postponed in September. They will host the Tigers on Tuesday, October 23 at 6 pm at Brahman Stadium.

MurphyOkeechobee News South Fork (6-0) will present the toughest challenge to date for the Okeechobee Brahmans (3-3) as they collide in a key district match up tonight in Tropical Farms. Brahman coach Chris Branham is still positive and upbeat because his team had a great week off, bonded as a team, and came out this week and held intense and productive practices. South Fork has been dominant with a 46-0 win over Martin County, 26-9 win over Port St. Lucie, 48-7 win over Forest Hill, 35-13 win over Jensen Beach, 39-0 win over Palm Beach Lakes, and a 17-16 win over St. Lucie West. Okeechobee played Martin County, Port St. Lucie and Centennial and has defeated two of them. South Fork is led by running back Lorenz Velasco who has 634 yards and seven touchdowns rushing. He also is a threat out of the back eld. Bulldog quarterback Cody Labanowitz has four touchdown passes and has rushed for ve touchdowns. Blake Lucky leads the defense with 83 tackles. Dustin Krock has ve sacks. Branham said every week will be a must win for the Brahmans if they want to make the playoffs. He said Velasco is a special player and that Labanowitz is the best QB in the area. Okeechobee will get offensive tackle Cody Walker back from a knee injury. Adrian Minondo (shoulder) and Elijowan Williams (ankle) are near 100 percent and will play. "I feel our team is ready to go and wants this game. They really practiced well this week, were intense, and I got a different sense about them," he said. While South Fork is unbeaten, Branham said his team will not be intimidated and will have the belie f that they can pull the upset. "We will just let the dogs loose. I'm not guaranteeing anythingI know the team is con dent and will be prepared," he added. Branham said a key for the Brahmans will be getting his faster players DJ Washington, LaVante Spivey, Fabian Howard and Al Fludd outside and see how the y match up with the South Fork speed. "I never pray for victory, I just pray for them to have their best game. I think we will let it all go and see what happens," he added.
